I, Erin Gebert, will be running my first full marathon (26.2 miles) in NYC on November 1st, 2015. I have chosen to raise money for a childhood cancer foundation called Alex's Lemonade Stand. After reading about Alex's Lemonade Stand, I immediately became eager to donate and support this fund. I admire young Alex's ambition at just 4 years old and I am determined to spread the same courage and bravery as she did!

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex's family - including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey - and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Any donation is greatly appreciated!
